Pluribus to All's Fair: the seven best shows to stream this week

Here's a paraphrased version of the article:

For those looking to binge-watch something new, there are several shows worth checking out this week. One of them is "Pluribus", which stars Rhea Seehorn as Carol Sturka, a cranky writer who becomes embroiled in a mysterious communication from outer space that claims to hold answers to humanity's problems.

In stark contrast, "All's Fair" follows the drama-filled world of LA's elite, with two rival law firms vying for control over their clients' divorces. The show promises to deliver blazing camp and plenty of celebrity cameos.

If you're in the mood for something more light-hearted, "Robin Hood" is a cheerful take on the classic tale, starring Jack Patten as Robin and Sean Bean as his nemesis, the Sheriff of Nottingham. While it's not particularly deep, it's a fun romp that explores the character development of both leads.

On the other hand, if you're looking for something darker and more dramatic, "Crutch" is a family sitcom that follows the story of Frank "Crutch" Crutchfield, played by Tracy Morgan, as he navigates his new life with his recently deceased cousin's family. It's an overfamiliar premise, but Morgan brings his signature likability to the role.

For those who enjoy competitions and survival shows, "Squid Game: The Challenge" is a thrilling drama that takes place in a real-world game show setting. While it promises an electrifying experience, some viewers may find the format too brutal and exploitative.

Finally, for fans of intense dramas, "Heweliusz" tells the story of the deadliest ever peacetime disaster involving a Polish ship, which capsized in 1993, resulting in 55 deaths. The show delves into the bitter aftermath, exploring silenced whistleblowers, corporate failure, and official cowardice.

Last but not least, there's "Death By Lightning", which explores two parallel American stories that collide in unexpected ways: the rise of James A Garfield to the presidency and the life of Charles Guiteau, who assassinated him. The show promises sympathetic leads, Michael Shannon and Matthew Macfadyen, but ultimately never quite breaks out of its historical narrative.
 
omg u gotta check out squid game: the challenge lol its so intense u feel like u r really playing 4 ur life πŸ˜‚. but idk bout the format its kinda exploitative rn. on the other hand robin hood is a fun one its not meant 2 b taken seriously its just a light-hearted romp thru medieval england 🏹. i think the shows w/ more substance like heweliusz r the ones u should b watchin tho thats some heavy stuff πŸ’”.
 
I'm still thinking about "Squid Game: The Challenge"... I mean, it's like they're trying to make a game out of people's lives 🀯. I don't know if I'd want to compete in something that feels so brutal and exploitative. But at the same time, I can see how some people would get drawn into that kind of thing. It's like when you're watching a really intense sports game - you're either fully invested or completely turned off 🏈. Has anyone else seen this show? What did you think of it?
 
I think "Squid Game: The Challenge" is getting a bit too much hate πŸ€·β€β™‚οΈ. People need to chill out – it's just a game show with a twist! It's meant to be intense and thrilling, not everyone has to love the format πŸ˜’. And honestly, if you're looking for something more brutal, have you seen those reality TV shows where people get eliminated in front of cameras? Now that's exploitation πŸ€¦β€β™‚οΈ. Tracy Morgan is a legend, he can do no wrong πŸ™Œ. "Crutch" might be an overfamiliar premise but Morgan brings so much charm to it, I'm definitely gonna watch that 😊.
 
I'm so done with Netflix trying to be everything to everyone 🀯! Can't they just pick a few genres and run with it? I mean "Squid Game: The Challenge" is literally the same format as the original show, but with real people... how exciting is that πŸ™„. And don't even get me started on "Heweliusz", I mean 55 deaths in one shipwreck? That's just sad πŸ˜”. Give me a fun romp like "Robin Hood" any day of the week 😊. Maybe they should take some notes from their British friends who know how to do comedy and drama right πŸ‡¬πŸ‡§
 
I'm so down for some new shows to binge! πŸ“Ί I've seen a few teasers and the ones that caught my eye are "Pluribus" and "Squid Game: The Challenge". I love a good mystery, especially when it comes with aliens πŸ˜±πŸ‘½. On the other hand, "Robin Hood" looks like so much fun! πŸŽ‰ Who doesn't love a good ol' fashioned romp in Sherwood Forest? πŸΉοΈβ€β™‚οΈ As for me, I'm all about that survival vibe πŸ’ͺ, but I can see how some people might find it too intense. And omg, "Heweliusz" sounds so dramatic! πŸ˜±πŸ’€ I love a good tragedy story every now and then 🀯. What's your take on these shows? Which ones are you most excited to watch? πŸ€”
 
πŸ€” I'm so curious about "Pluribus"! Is it like that one sci-fi movie from last year where they communicated with aliens too? πŸš€ And what's up with the writing character being cranky, is she always like that in real life? πŸ“ I also want to watch "Squid Game: The Challenge", how does it compare to the original show? Is it super intense and scary? 😬
 
I'm so down for a new binge-watching session πŸ“ΊπŸ‘. But honestly, I feel like there's something missing from these new shows. Like, what about depth? What about real stories that need to be told? Don't get me wrong, "Heweliusz" is super intriguing, but we've seen disasters and tragedies done before. Where are the characters with substance?

And can we talk about how overdone competitions and survival shows have become πŸ€¦β€β™‚οΈ? I mean, I'm all for a good adrenaline rush, but when it's just people screaming at each other for the sake of entertainment... no thanks.

I do love that there's something for everyone here though. If you're in the mood for light-hearted fun, "Robin Hood" sounds like just what the doctor ordered πŸŽ‰. And I'm curious about "Squid Game: The Challenge" - will it live up to its promise?

But for me, it's all about the stories that matter most. Give me something with real heart and substance any day ❀️.
 
I'm kinda curious about these new shows πŸ€”... I mean, "Pluribus" sounds like some sci-fi mystery vibes, but is it really going to hold all the answers to humanity's problems? πŸ€·β€β™€οΈ And "All's Fair" seems super dramatic and campy - I love a good celebrity cameo! πŸ“Ί But what's up with "Squid Game: The Challenge"? It sounds like it could be pretty brutal, so I'm not sure if I'd wanna watch that. 😬 On the other hand, "Heweliusz" seems like something really important and tragic - I'll have to check it out when it comes out.

I also noticed they mentioned "Crutch" is a family sitcom... I'm guessing Tracy Morgan's charm will carry the show? πŸ€— It's weird how some shows sound so different from each other, you know? Like, one's a light-hearted romp and another's a super dark drama. But hey, that's what makes life interesting, right? 🌎
 
I'm thinking about how these new shows are coming out this week πŸ“Ί. Honestly, I think what's interesting is that some of them are giving me a bit of campy vibes πŸ€ͺ like "All's Fair", which sounds super dramatic and fun to watch! But then others like "Squid Game: The Challenge" seem way too intense for my taste 🀯. Meanwhile, shows like "Robin Hood" and "Death By Lightning" are more on the lighter side, but I'm not sure if they're gonna stick with me after a few episodes πŸ€”. What's your take?
 
πŸ˜ŠπŸ“Ί I'm so excited for this new batch of shows! 🀩 "Pluribus" sounds like a wild ride with that space mystery πŸš€, while "All's Fair" seems like a juicy drama-filled soap opera πŸ’β€β™€οΈ. On the lighter side, "Robin Hood" is just what I need to lift my mood 😊. And of course, who can resist Tracy Morgan's charm in "Crutch"? 🀣

But if you're looking for something intense, both "Squid Game: The Challenge" and "Heweliusz" seem like they'll keep me on the edge of my seat 😬. I'm intrigued by their contrasting themes - competition vs. disaster drama. And lastly, "Death By Lightning" seems like a fascinating historical tale, even if it doesn't quite break new ground πŸ€”.

I do wish there were more original ideas among these options though... but overall, this lineup looks promising! πŸ‘
 
So there's a bunch of new shows coming out that I'm actually kinda hyped about 🀩 "Pluribus" sounds like it could be deep and thought-provoking, plus Rhea Seehorn is an awesome actress πŸ™Œ. On the other hand, I'm not really feeling "All's Fair", I mean, it sounds like a bunch of drama for drama's sake πŸ˜’.

But what caught my attention was "Squid Game: The Challenge". I think this one has potential to be super intense and addictive πŸ“Ί. And "Heweliusz" is a real tearjerker – 55 deaths is crazy! πŸ’”

I'm also intrigued by the contrast between light-hearted shows like "Robin Hood" and more serious dramas like "Crutch". It's interesting how different genres can appeal to different people, right? πŸ€”
 
🀣 I mean, have you guys seen the titles for these shows? "All's Fair", huh? Sounds like my ex-wife when we were going through a messy divorce... just kidding, that show actually looks drama-filled and juicy! 🍴 Meanwhile, who wouldn't want to watch "Robin Hood" with Sean Bean as the Sheriff of Nottingham? That guy is just so evil-looking it's like he's been training in the dark arts all his life 😏. And can we talk about "Heweliusz"? 55 deaths from a shipwreck? That sounds like a real-life horror movie, but also kinda fascinating? I guess you're gonna need some popcorn for that one... 🍿
 
🀩 I'm loving all these new shows that are coming out! You know what's awesome? People getting to watch different genres on Netflix - from sci-fi ("Pluribus") to drama/ comedy hybrids (All's Fair). And can we talk about how Tracy Morgan is bringing life to "Crutch"? His likability is infectious!

But seriously, have you seen "Squid Game: The Challenge"? I know some people might find it intense or even exploitative, but for me, that's what makes it thrilling! It's like a real-life game show - who doesn't love competition?

And then there's "Heweliusz", which brings attention to an important historical event. We should be more aware of the world's tragedies and learn from them, right? 🌟
 
I'm so curious about this new show "Pluribus" πŸ€”, what makes it so special? Is that whole space thing really gonna change humanity's problems? And on the other hand, I've heard "Robin Hood" is pretty fun, but isn't Robin Hood a classic story already? πŸ€·β€β™€οΈ I mean, how do they make it cheerful and light-hearted while still keeping some drama going?

I'm also a bit skeptical about "Squid Game: The Challenge", sounds kinda intense 😬, I don't know if I could watch that stuff. And what's with the real-world game show setting? Is that really gonna be as thrilling as they say? 🀞 On the other hand, "Heweliusz" sounds super heavy and emotional, 55 deaths is a lot! How do you think the show handles those kinds of events?

I've seen some reviews for "Death By Lightning" too πŸ“Ί, and I'm not sure if it's really gonna deliver on its promise. It sounds like two cool stories merged together, but what if they don't quite mesh? And how do Michael Shannon and Matthew Macfadyen bring their characters to life in such a historical setting?

What about "Crutch"? 😊 Is Tracy Morgan's charm enough to carry that show, even with an overfamiliar premise?
 
Ugh, Netflix is just trying too hard with all these new shows 🀯. I mean, "Pluribus" sounds super cheesy, and don't even get me started on the name - it's like they're begging to be mocked πŸ˜‚. And what's up with the constant need for a show that's got everything: drama, comedy, camp... can't we just have one type of show anymore? πŸ€¦β€β™‚οΈ The more shows I see, the less excited I get about watching any of them. Maybe it's just me, but I'm over all this binge-watching nonsense already 😴.
 
omg I'm so down for some new shows this week 🀩 I mean "Pluribus" sounds super intriguing - a mysterious message from outer space? that's wild πŸ” how about we start with that one? also i've been seeing mixed reviews on "Squid Game: The Challenge", is it too intense or just a thrilling experience? πŸ€”
 
I'm so stoked for "Pluribus" - that sci-fi premise sounds like my cup of tea 😎 can't wait to binge-watch it! But I gotta say, the contrast between "All's Fair" and "Robin Hood" is pretty wild - one's all about drama & high society, while the other's just a fun campy romp 🀣. And I'm curious about "Crutch", how do you think Tracy Morgan will bring this character to life? He always has great energy on screen πŸ’ͺ
 
🀩 just watched some cool shows this week! so i'm still trying to figure out what i like lol "Pluribus" is kinda trippy πŸš€ i love rhea seehorn's character though she's so feisty πŸ˜‚ and "All's Fair" is like a guilty pleasure for me πŸ’β€β™€οΈ all that drama and celebrity cameos? yessss!

also, "Robin Hood" was just what the doctor ordered 🍴 light-hearted and fun, i loved sean bean as the sheriff πŸ˜‚ but it felt a bit shallow at times. and omg "Crutch" with tracy morgan? 🀣 his energy is infectious, even if the premise isn't super original.

but then there's "Heweliusz" which was like a total emotional rollercoaster 🎒 i'm all for stories that expose wrongdoings, but some of these scenes felt a bit too intense for me. and "Squid Game: The Challenge" is just not my cup of tea πŸ€• it's like they took a great show and made it all about the competition and survival.

anyway, i'm still figuring out what i want to watch next πŸ“Ί maybe something else will catch my eye? 😊
